Melatonin doesn't do anything.
Does anyone know any?
@captainepoch
I don't know any pharms that don't carry side effects that are worse than the symptom they treat.
Herb-wise: Passionflower, chamomile, valerian, catnip teas.
Cannabis (of the right kind, takes experimentation), or just CBD can help for me.
Also, a decoction of Cat's Claw (uncaria tomentosa) has a really strong calming/sedative effect on me. Does take a while to make though.

@Vo @captainepoch chamomille does indeed work and has saved my ass, it will take the edge out of anxiety. i think lemon balm does work too.
make sure the teas are strong enough, ideally it's loose tea. with tea bags you'll need multiple per cup, at least for chamomille.
@bonifartius @captainepoch ooh and huffing lavender oil is surprisingly effective too
@Vo @captainepoch yeah oils are surprisingly effective. i had problems with headaches due to astigmatism for a long time and putting mint oil onto the places which hurt works really well. almost as effective as ibuprofen so i can save that for the real shit headache!
